Sun Chemical Advanced Materials and the DIC Corporation open new European PPS Technical Centre

PARSIPPANY, N.J., USA – 26 May 2016 − Sun Chemical Advanced Materials and its parent company, the DIC Corporation, has opened a new European Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) Technical Centre in Karlstein, near Frankfurt in Germany. The new laboratory, an extension of Sun Chemical’s Eurolab, enables the DIC Group to provide enhanced and more localised expert technical support to its European and American customers of DIC.PPS, an industry-leading compound developed by the DIC Corporation.

The European PPS Technical Centre, which represents a €2.7 million investment, further strengthens the DIC Group’s global supply and technical service network for DIC.PPS compounds. As the European and the American PPS markets continue to grow, this new facility will provide the additional capability to cater for the increased demand for production and technical support.
